Raymond Dean, LPC

Raymond Dean is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 14 years of practice. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. He brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for everyday life.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods to address problems people bring into the room. Sessions involve talking through thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and building habits that reduce distress. Raymond also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) tools when they fit a person's goals.

People often come for help with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, and control issues. He also supports those coping with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, or questions about life purpose and money worries. Raymond works to break big problems into manageable steps.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and practical skills. He helps people practice new responses to difficult feelings and improve how they talk about needs. Therapy may include guided exercises, homework between sessions, and check-ins to track progress.

Sessions are offered in English and Raymond accepts international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Raymond Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Raymond commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters most, and take committed action toward those values.

He treats the choice of approach as a team decision. During early sessions he will talk with the client about goals, try a few techniques, and adjust methods together so therapy fits personal needs and preferences. This collaborative stance helps find what works for each person rather than assuming one single method will fit all problems.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written exercises, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while using the selected approaches to address stress, relationships, and mood concerns.
